Pop Culture (Live Mashup) by Madeon (right-click; save link as)
I have mad love for Madeon, this 17-year old wonderkid from France who’s been making remixes of my favorite songs — Yelle’s Que Veux Tu and Deadmau5’s Raise Your Weapon. He mashed 39 of his favorite songs on one take. You have to see the video below to see how brilliantly he did it. The track listing is included in the video info.
Look at those fingers! It’s so pretty.
I like this… makes me feel dance-y. (Play the video, the audio player doesn’t seem to work at all times.)

I know middle school students would be stoked over this kind of thing (they were incensed when Qatar got the 2022 World Cup), wonder how the elementary school kids will be today…

I don’t know why I didn’t post this way before, but check it out!
The very sweet and talented Janet Lo (fellow LCC-er) is hoping to raise money to make a pilot of her documentary-style cooking show “Family Secrets”. Check out her video/Kickstarter page and consider dropping a few $$.
It’s always great to support people who really believe in their dreams and are doing something proactive to pursue them!

You’re welcome.
Huling pag-isip.
Gusto ko lang sabihan ay kahit nawala na ang aking feeling sa yo… masakit pa rin, kasi ang aming friendship iba na, at parang nakalimutan mo may puso pa rin ako, at ang aking luha ay hindi pa tuyo sa aking mukha. Sana naman, maintindihan mo ‘to.
Alam ko… ako ang tanga.
